Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
A composition consisting essentially of a complex salt dissolved in a liquid organic ester which is free of substituents which are reactive with cationically polymerizable groups, wherein said complex salt is present in an amount of at least 10% by weight of said composition, and wherein said complex salt is selected from diorganoiodonium complex salts and triorganosulfonium complex salts of a type capable of initiating photopolymerization of cationically polymerizable materials.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
A composition consisting essentially of a complex salt dissolved in a liquid organic ester which is free of substituents which are reactive with cationically polymerizable groups, wherein said complex salt is present in an amount of at least 10% by weight of said composition, and wherein said complex salt is selected from diorganoiodonium complex salts and triorganosulfonium complex salts of a type capable of initiating photopolymerization of cationically polymerizable materials.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1, wherein said liquid organic ester is an ester of (a) an aromatic acid having at least two carboxyl groups on adjacent carbon atoms of the aromatic ring and (b) an aliphatic alcohol, and wherein said liquid organic ester has a boiling point of at least about 175° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A composition in accordance with claim 2 wherein said aliphatic alcohol has an oxygen to carbon ratio of at least 1:4.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A composition in accordance with claim 3, wherein said liquid organic ester comprises an ,,thophthalate ester.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
55 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1, wherein said liquid organic ester is an ester of (a) an aliphatic acid having at least two carboxyl groups linked directly or by means of a chain having 1 or 2 carbon atoms, and (b) an aliphatic alcohol having an oxygen to carbon ratio of at least 1:3.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
A composition in accordance with claim 5 wherein said aliphatic acid is selected from oxalic, malonic, maleic, succinic, oxydiacetic and glutaric.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
A composition in accordance with claim 4, wherein said ester is benzylalkylphthalate.
